1st Ta Ta Sisterhood Reunion in Vegas

Checking in ladies... As life resumes I find myself missing everyone of you your kindness and words of support are immeasurable. Most of all your friendship and good times have made this a lifelong memorable event. I was thinking about how many other vacations that I can say that about and sincerely none come to mind (although I am not well traveled). The day before I was scheduled to go my cancer support buddy went into the hospital, I was audited for financial aid which left me 30bucks and hotel money, and I was very close to dropping my classes because it seemed so impossible to wait around for things to clear at school. However something and someone said "just go, you need this" and I did, It was probably the best choice I have made this year. I found friendship, support, wild drunken fun and future mentors.

The ladies here (including those absent) are all generous, amazing, strong and beautiful. I cannot believe how everyone of you manage to have such full lives with careers, husbands, children all while facing a cancer battle. As some of you know I dont have any of these (except the medical issues!) and it makes me thankful to have such a simple life, but as Suzie said we all have challenges of varying degrees that make us unique but never less strong (hope that came out right). I truly do look up to you ladies and I just wanted to let you know, because sometimes its hard to get those things out without babbling through tears! I love you all and cant wait to see you again.

What is a sign of a good trip? It starts with a wave and ends with a hug. -Q

Kristina... Wonderful to see you here ! It was a pleasure to meet you!

DV8Q... ((((Hug))))...~wink~.... you make me cry this morning... THANKS A LOT... LOL... You will be AOK because it is your time... it is just YOUR TIME sister.. go GET IT! (((((((hugs)))))))

Grands today... wahooooooooooooooo

Hi Heather!!

Kristina-If there was only one great thing that could have happened from this trip it would be getting you on these boards so that you get the pleasure of all of these amazing, strong, funny, knowledgable women.  I'm so glad you took the leap.  Fortunately for us, that wasn't the only great thing about the trip....the whole trip was great!

Peg and Deborah-I'm so sorry I didn't get to say goodbye before you left.  You were both so wonderful and I'm glad to have had the chance to meet you both.  Hope your drive back was just as fun as the weekend.

Quinn-YOU, my girl, are my new hero.  When I was diagnosed, I was the youngest person I knew to go through this at 43.  I cannot believe what you have been through at only 31.  You are amazing and strong and beautiful and I am SOOO glad that you decided to come, despite everything else that was going on in your life.  We needed you just as much as you needed us.

I hope everyone has a great week as we settle back into our regular lives where no one is cheering as we walk by, no one wants to take pictures with us and people aren't high fiving us in public places. 

Quinn - What do you mean  that you don't have any of these things??   Now you do!!!  We 'adopted' you.  You are now a member of this grand family. 

Friends Forever!

FirstMate - don't forget to send me a PM so I can mail a check to you!

Laura - Glad to see you back on the boards!  

I didn't get a darn thing done yesterday.  I was exhausted.  I still need to unpack my suitcase.

It is snowing in the mountains now - 26 degrees up where my horse is so I have to get there this afternoon and throw a blanket on her.  Poor thing - she is probably freezing right now.  

I still feel trashed from this weekend.  Don't know if it is because we didn't get much sleep or just being done with rads but hopefully my energy will pick back up by the end of the week.  I don't know how ya'll managed to go back to work on Tuesday!  

I hope by next year I will have lost 20 lbs and have lots of hair to the point ya'll don't recognize me!

Ok.. my links are not working...

Please Search a Thread called... " FRIENDS.... ((LOOK))"

(((hugs)))

DV8Q ~ I'm so glad you came!  YOU are an inspiration.  I put myself through school and that was challenging enough without BC on top of it - so give yourself credit for being the strong woman that you are - YOU ROCK!

Peg

My Sista's,

Since I have last posted, so much has been said about our Las Vegas TA TA Sisterhood weekend.  It was so amazing meeting everyone and enjoying each others company.  So many of you sista'shave expressed what I felt and still feel about the weekend.  I am still exhausted and I have not touched laundry yet, as a matter of fact, I just emptied my suit case this evening.

I want to Thank all of you SISTA's for welcoming my mom.  She called this evening and said she was going through Cheryl withdrawl.  That was so sweet of her to say. (I miss her too). Gisselle, to bad she did not pole dance at Jet. (HA HA).

Well have to go to bed, still trying to catch up on sleep.  Miss you all and have a restful nights sleep. 

(((((HUGS))))))

Since Traceyz and Firstmate didn't come forth with the truth......

I changed my avatar to a Greyhound Bus because Ms. Tracey decided that I snored - not like a freight train but more like a Greyhound Bus.  Yep, those were her exact words!

I tried to give them both an ambien or valium but they both declined.  So....I took an ambien because I kept waking myself up snoring Sunday night.

OK I really need to get a life....lol  I can't pull myself away from my computer.  I keep looking at the pictures Packergirl posted on the shutterfly site...listening to the cd she made us...over and over...and smiling ear to ear.....with tears streaming.....man I can't believe it's been a WHOLE week since we met in the Vegas airport!  WOWIE!  I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL NEXT YR!!!!

I just LOVE YOU GIRLS!!!!

HUGS!!!

OKAY, OKAY, I'M JUST KIDDING....I just happened to buy one of these [not from this company] for my DH and it really does work....after 17 years of sleep-deprived marriage....

Deborah--was I the only one who snored? sniff....
